The publisher's 'Global Lithium Mining to 2025 - Analysing Reserves and Production by Country, Global Assets and Projects, Demand Drivers and Key Players' provides a comprehensive coverage on the global lithium industry. It provides historical and forecast data on lithium production by country, production by company, reserves by country, world lithium prices, lithium trade, market balance, and M&As in lithium industry. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global lithium industry. It further profiles major lithium producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by region.

Global lithium metal production is expected to reach 89.9 thousand tonnes (kt) in 2021, up by 9.6% over 2020. Output from Australia and Argentina will be significant contributors to overall growth. Rising prices, as well as increasing battery demand for EVs, will be the driving factors for growth in lithium production in 2021. Furthermore, growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly increasing demand for lithium. Despite a slowdown in the market, global battery demand rose by 20.5% in 2020, supported by a shift in the design and advancement of battery technology. In the same year, batteries alone accounted for 71% of total lithium consumption.
